Who Am I

since we are so out of order, Try this one then, and what the body made out of, not many cars made of the same material

[PeaceBlondie]

taxexile, you're usually right, but that mustard sedan/saloon looks pretty enough to be a Maserati Quattroporte. I never heard of a pretty, modern Tatra.

[djinn]

at the risk of being boring...

Tatra

Citroen

[PeaceBlondie]

Like bazmlb says, we're out of order now anyway. Speaking of construction materials, what were the first models of the Marcos and Pontiac Fieros made of? (Not same answer for both).

[wilko]

Yep another Tatra

The rover gas turbine - for a long time Rover kept a Citroen DS in a windtunnel etc, the body is the same bolt on body panels, the turbine was front wheel drive and if you take a look at it in profile you'll see the Citroen "droop-snoot". the 2o00 was toned down looks-wise loosing the nose and the sloping back window, to keep the conventional "British" look.

[wilko]

Marcos had a marine ply chassis

[qualtrough]

oldsmobile super 88 , 1960

My first car was a Olds Dynamic 88 bought for $100. Ah, good time, good times...

[wilko]

No Wilko; not too boring as sedans go. The 1956 Ford Custom 300 Tudor sedan was boring.

no not the car - I mean I keep posting Tatras! - I love 'em!

[djinn]

As nobody has any idea about 1923 car I posted;The answer is Salmson Cyclecar Grand Sport type AL3

I think I will post only after 1940 cars

To spice a little this is the dashboard of a luxury car.This is not wood but metal on it.

Some clues:V8 Chrysler,Torqueflite gearbox;Salisbury bridge;max speed 240 km/h;production year from 1957 to...around 1964 (not sure)

If no good answer,I will post a photo of the back of the car tomorrow.

Not too difficult ther is a detail that helps.....

Guess:Marcos wood

Fiero:Fiberglass

[taxexile]

facel vega dash.

[taxexile]

the citroen mehari was plastic bodied.

[djinn]

facel vega dash.

9 minutes to give the right answer

but I was too kind.I let the fv sign at the center of the wheel appearing

Let me prepar an other one

[taxexile]

try this one .

its british.

[taxexile]

The 1956 Ford Custom 300 Tudor sedan was boring.

quite a nicely proportioned machine , i think broderick crawford may have driven one in "highway patrol"

[PeaceBlondie]

My Dad had company cars, 1956 and 1957, Custom 300 (or just Customline) Tudors (the four door model was a Fordor; kid you not), which actually had a chrome spear all down the bodyside, and around the windshield (which we never called windscreen). The Mainline, the bottom economy Ford, had rubber moldings (not mouldings) and the 'business coupe' had no back seat!

Would somebody please post a 1954 Ford Skyliner or the 1955 Fairlane Crown Victoria with the front half as a moonroof? Or even a 1958 Ford Skyliner with retractible hard top?

[taxexile]

[djinn]

If Tax didn't say it was english I would have said Maserati Ghibli (at least the front part) or Monteverdi

I nearly bought a Maserati Khassim some years ago but too much restauration and her Citroen pneumatic shock absorber system was a pain in the a## to fix.(not speaking from the carbus.......

Guess:AC???

The second serie of Tax are Ford .Red one is a Fairlane The other one:Mei lou

[djinn]

2 more

one easy

[djinn]

ouups the difficult one now

[PeaceBlondie]

Thanks to taxexile for those Fords. Those were glory days in styling and innovation for American iron, big beautiful cars that invented the moon roof, retractible hardtop, two kinds of mass production turbochargers, two kinds of fuel injection, two Chevrolet fully independent rear suspensions that predated Porsche's, a front wheel drive V8....a turbocharged six cylinder sports model that predated the Porsche 911 by many years....glory days, long gone. But credit also where it's due: Alec Iconigiss, Ferdinand Porsche, et al. Especially Al.

[taxexile]

djinns difficult one is easy , its a rover/brm gas turbine.

the easy one is difficult , its a general motors car , possibly a buick ????

[PeaceBlondie]

I was going to guess the LeMans turbine car was a Matra, since it rhymes with Tatra.

[zamp]

zamps car is a lancia gamma coupe , lovely.

well done,you know your cars.

[djinn]

djinns difficult one is easy , its a rover/brm gas turbine.

Rover BRM correct

other one Chevy Monte Carlo 86

[djinn]

At first sight it could seem easy but hehe

So I wish the type and the year.

[djinn]

This one should be very easy

So easy I didn't leave the same clue as for the Facel Vega

A clue for tomorrow if needed

[taxexile]

djinn , ford mustang and lotus elan , the mustang would be an early model , 66 or 67 , but it looks as if its been re -trimmed.

i knew that reading all those car magazines under my desk at school would come in useful one day.

[bazmlb]

since we are so out of order, Try this one then, and what the body made out of, not many cars made of the same material

No ideas?
